Offer description

Our Finance teams don’t just process numbers; they collect vital information that informs decisions and drives our business. If you enjoy working in a front‑line operational function where your work is highly valued and has visible impact, this could be your kind of place.

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will support the finance team in the effective management and reporting of divisional performance in line with business requirements.


Responsibilities

* Promote and act in accordance with Group values, systems, policies and procedures.
* Support the finance team in ensuring that all deadlines and the financial timetable are achieved.
* Assume responsibility for all overhead costs, ensuring they are correctly coded and apportioned.

* Assist with accurate and robust forecasting and planning in line with requirements.
* Control the quarterly and annual Corporate Sustainability Questionnaire process, ensuring all data is accurately collected and recorded within the submission.
* Act as the point of contact for the finance shared service centre, offering support and guidance when required.
* Assist with appropriate reporting to the MD and Divisional board.


Qualifications

* Part qualified accountant, actively studying, with experience in a commercial accounting role, ideally within the house‑building sector.
* Strong team player with the drive and tenacity to achieve the goals of the business.
* Highly numerate with strong IT and financial analysis skills, particularly advanced Excel skills.
* The ability to produce data, interpret it, and provide commentary to non‑financial stakeholders.
* Experience of planning and organising work to meet targets.
* Able and willing to contribute a professional opinion to the overall management of the business.
* Self‑confident, decisive, resilient and able to thrive under pressure in a fast‑paced environment.

We adopt a hybrid way of working which assumes that, where roles allow, our office based colleagues divide their time between working in the office, at our construction sites, sales offices, and from home as the role dictates.

We are building an organisation where anyone with drive and talent can pursue the career they want. We are building a culture where anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, sexuality, disability, background or any other characteristic, can progress and be proud to work for us.
